When nerves get impinged, you can lose some nerve function, and that opens up the door for all kinds of issues. I’m not trying to say that this is your problem, I’m just throwing it out there.

CS

Thanks for the advice CS. I’ve been to chiropractors while living in US a while back and apparently there is nothing they can do for the type of injury I have. Finally, when one of my discs slipped I got to the so called “back school” where they treat your injury (physical therapy) and they also teach you how to maintain it and live with it for the rest of your life (those type of injuries are permanent and all you can do is maintain a good condition of them if thy are not too bad). Once they managed to push the disc back into the place, the only thing that worked for me was a set of Pilates exercises, carefully selected for my type of back injury, and with those as well as walking and later biking for 10 miles got me out of bed and pretty good shape afterwords (perhaps better than before the injury). I was an invalid for 4 months and half of that time could not even go to the bathroom by myself, but after I pulled myself out of it I even carried two kids on that back without as much as a single ache. I weighed 215 pounds on the delivery day!

Since this fatigue and muscle weakness started I was not able to do those exercises and now on top of the muscle atrophy I also have back problems again. Muscle strength is essential in maintaining my back in good shape. The thing is that I am active, I still walk few miles per day and care for two very active children but my muscles are unable to follow it any longer. I am waiting for diagnosis and then I will get physical therapy again, I just hope it will be a good one considering all my problems and “fix” me once again.
